The Carrying Stream Flows On
The School of Scottish Studies came into being at the University of Edinburgh in 1951 as a research unit dedicated to ‘the study and conservation of the folk culture of Scotland’ when Professor Angus McIntosh was enabled to turn a vision which he and others had long held into reality. In that year Calum Iain Maclean was seconded from the Irish Folklore Commission to continue his collecting in Scotland, while other pioneers such as Hamish Henderso…
Failing to settle
This article provides a summary of one voluntary adoption agency’s attempt to look at a specific area of its own practice over the decade 2001–2011. In the UK the understanding of adoptive placements that disrupt is hampered by the lack of consistently gathered national statistics. This gap can be addressed only at central government level and it seems remarkable that, given the well-publicised investment of successive administrations in adoption…
The Changing Context of Child and Family Social Work
Child and family social work has changed considerably over the past 60 years. Arabella Weyts and John Randall chart these developments in England since the radical legislation of 1948 and identify enduring tensions that arise from role conflicts, shared responsibilities and balancing specialist and generalist work, each of which presents challenges for overarching organisations such as BAAF
Towards a Better Understanding of the Needs of Children Currently Adopted from Care
John Randall summarises the findings of an in-house study undertaken by Families for Children, a voluntary adoption agency based in the southwest of England. It took a consecutive sample of 103 children placed from care for adoption between 2003 and 2005, using Matching Needs and Services, a method designed for analysing need in child care populations and developing services best suited to meeting them. The study identified nine need groups of va…
Rethinking the Economic Torts
We propose a revised conceptual basis for the economic torts which is true to their historical role of regulating the competitive process. Claims that the economic torts are part of a wider principle of prima facie liability for intentional harm or that they are based on a theory of secondary or accessorial liability should, we argue, be rejected. Instead, we focus on a narrower and, we claim, more defensible conception of these torts in terms of…
Overcoming barriers to effective practice in child care
This paper describes the work of three Action Learning Sets – two groups of child care social workers and one group of health visitors. Given the substantial investment in child care research and its dissemination, we wanted to examine barriers to effective practice from the vantage point of workers themselves. Our core question was: ‘What can we do about the things that get in the way of effective practice?’ The method, based on that of ‘co‐oper…
A Common Frontier
M OST activities of a frontier have a pressing urgency. In contrast, quiet modes of living on many American campuses tend to make frontier conditions seem remote. This is true of even such well-publicized conditions as those associated with activities of fifth columns and with cold warfare, whether economic, psychological, idealistic, or religious in focus. But how remote do more basic and less obvious frontier conditions seem? Does postwar plann…

Community Is a Process.-Community is a process; it is a creative processcreative because it is a process of integrating. Integration is the union of "wishes" in a working whole. An example of integrating as the creative social process is when two or three people meet to decide on some course of action, and separate with a new purpose and a new will acquired as the result of interweaving of all. In this way community process creates personality, p…
